Georgia and South Carolina Herping! Piedmont Vipers, Ratsnakes, and Box Turtles!

Ойын-сауық

A strong finish to our trip to South Carolina on the way home, and our first local outing in a few weeks. We find some well hidden vipers, along with plenty of the usual suspects!

    Damn, sorry to hear about the bout with covid! I actually haven’t heard anyone I know contracting it recently. I had it twice, the first time (before Christmas 2020) was rough, the second time wasn’t bad. I’ve had all the vaccines I’m going to have at this point (3.)

    Great stuff as usual. I always enjoy seeing the box turtles you come across. I had something called the BTRU when I was younger. It stood for Box Turtle Rescue Unit and I had a couple hundred people in Arkansas that joined and would assist turtles across the road. Anyway, lol. Catch you on the flip-side. Richard from Arkansas

    It's always a pleasant surprise to see your SC/GA piedmont videos pop up on the feed; my stomping grounds! Not always the most productive herping area, but that makes it all the more exciting when cool stuff pops up! Awesome vid as always man.

    Right before you showed the first box turtle I was just thinking none of the herpers I follow have shown any on their channels thus far this year. They usually emerge much earlier in April to breed, even up here in NY but glad they are out and about & looking healthy. I don’t think that BT virus ever made it this far north thankfully. Also, maybe it’s a regional thing but the Easterns here in the NY/NJ/PA area seem to be much more vibrantly colored; some (males especially) have orange, yellow & red all on one specimen.

    Years ago when I was in high school in Brooklyn, NY (John Dewey) we’d find ring necks -also red and garters on the property. There was a natural pond on the school’s several acre grounds with snappers in it and I also found an Eastern Box Turtle there once. I think it actually escaped or was released from the school’s marine biology lab although they did find several E Boxs in Prospect Park, also in Bklyn!

    4:50- “hopefully I’ll see something else on the way back to the car, but if not….oh, there’s a dead armadillo.” 😂😂 Not callously laughing at a dead armadillo, just the way it surprised you while talking and the way you phrased it. I don’t know, that just made me laugh. 👍🏼

    I'm glad it was light. I am a spotter and chaser, but do to surgery, could not go out. I emailed a friend in Xenia, to see if Xenia was alright. I go to Xenia often to research the tornado, have fallen in love with the town, and all though I have always lived in Northwest Ohio, consider it my city, also. I know Xenia is close to both counties

    @@dancline2143 I was 6yrs old when that F5 took out Xenia, that same twister hit a neighborhood one town away from me before it got to Xenia. We were in our basement with the neighbors cos we had the only basement, after it passed we took a ride to see the damage in Beacon Hills, weird to see a house standing untouched when the other homes next to it flattened on either side. I had nightmares about tornadoes for years after that, it was so quiet before it came through the sky was a mix of black and yellow then all hell broke loose. Those cells in the 70's were something to behold. I hunt pheasant close to Xenia and Washington Courthouse New Holland, I love that area.
